Three police hurt in more Paris suburb clashes
2006-06-06
Lots of attention has shifted to the UK and Canada due to recent arrests, but the "youths" in France continue their intifada against the French government and French culture.
- Three police officers and two emergency workers were hurt in clashes with scores of youth in a southern Paris suburb late Monday, a police source said.

Molotov cocktails and stones were thrown at the police who responded with teargas and disabling flash-balls during the unrest involving 50-100 youths at the Grande Borne housing estate in the town of Grigny.

The violence lasted some 45 minutes as masked youths set one car ablaze and destroyed phone boxes and bus shelters.

No one was arrested in the violence and the injuries were said to be light.

The unrest follows similar clashes in two northern Paris suburbs last week and raises fears of a repeat of last November's nationwide riots.

#7  You know, this could be, potentially, used to split the green/left/islamist alliance: Don't car-b-cues contribute to global warming?

#6  Don't forget the German Shepherd dogs and Rottweilers. They can be very 'inspiring' to those who have not grown up around dogs

#4  To our French Rantburgers:

Is the trouble all around Paris-360 degrees of bad "youth" neighborhoods-or especially concentrated in the south and northeast?

#3  Has anyone thought of using the car-b-ques to roast pork sausage? Might as well get some use out of all that heat the fires produce.

Of course, pork would piss off the "utes" even more. That's an added attraction. ;-p

#2  My father was a policeman for 32 years, after he got out of the Marine Corps. He told me a long time ago of the surest way to stop riots. If there are 100 rioters, send in 200 riot police in the robocop type gear and stomp the sh*t out of them. When they get the stitches removed from their heads they may think twice about doing that again.

#1  Disabling flash balls? Not disabling enough to arrest the yutes...escalate to grenades!
